Mayfield arrested on meth charges: Authorities say NASCAR driver
Jeremy Mayfield was arrested Tuesday night on drug charges. Mayfield
was arrested in his home in the town of Catawba on possession of
methamphetamine charges, according to the Catawba County Sheriff's
Office. Deputies had gone to Mayfield's home to execute a search warrant
on a tip there were stolen goods in the house. During the search,
deputies found the methamphetamine. They also found items that may be
stolen but deputies have not verified the items taken are in fact stolen
property. Mayfield has a scheduled court appearance Wednesday morning.

UPDATE 3: Jeremy Mayfield's attorney says Mayfield had no
knowledge of the stolen items nor the methamphetamine found on his
property that lead to his arrest Tuesday. Mayfield attorney Daniel
Marino issued a statement Tuesday night: "Last evening, the Catawba
County Sheriff's Department conducted a search at the home of Jeremy
Mayfield," the statement said. "Mr. Mayfield understands that the
purpose of the search was to seize allegedly stolen property and that
the investigators claim to have seized methamphetamine from his home.
Mr. Mayfield has no knowledge of either stolen property or
methamphetamine being present on his property and denies the accusation
that he was in possession of methamphetamine or any other illegal drug
and he denies any suggestion that he knowingly received or possessed
stolen property." Marino also represents the former NASCAR driver in his
lawsuit against NASCAR over his suspension for a May 2009 failed drug
test. Marino's statement Tuesday indicated that Mayfield is cooperating
with authorities. Mayfield's next court date on the drug charge is
scheduled for Nov. 14. "This search was prompted by what the evidence
will show were baseless allegations by an unreliable source," the
statement said. "Mr. Mayfield and his attorneys are cooperating with the
authorities and they look forward to this matter being resolved
quickly. In the meantime, Mr. Mayfield asks that the public reserve its
judgment on this matter.
